Countywide at-large seat to be determined by Aug. 29 special election; early voting is underway.

Karrie Delaney registered as a Republican after being appointed to local government in Florida.

Karrie Delaney knows a thing or two about Republican politics. Back in 2004, she was appointed as a Republican to the West Melbourne City Council in Florida. But she lost the election that year after she voted higher taxes. Now she’s running as a Democrat against four-term incumbent Del. Jim LeMunyon (R-67).
